The Nitty Gritty:
Welcome to Episode 72 of the Pro-Touring.com Podcast!
We’re simul-posting the show show here on TheMuscleCarPlace.com as well as on Pro-Touring.com so everyone can get their fix.
For those new to the scene, the Pro-Touring.com podcast show is hosted by myself and Larry Callahan, the owner of Pro-Touring.com.
The show is sponsored by the fantastic hot rod wiring supply company, Ron Francis Wiring, and we’re very appreciative that they were our FIRST EVER show sponsor, and the first sponsor to re-sign for 2014!

Feature Interview with Top Gear’s Rutledge Wood!
In this episode of the show Larry and I had the chance to interview TV superstar, Rutledge Wood. We’ve both been huge fans of Rut during his run on the U.S. version of Top Gear, and since they featured a recent interview with a comparison of three Pro-Touring cars that were all owned by Pro-Touring.com friends of ours, we reached out for an interview. It turns out…..Rut is totally normal, and was happy to come on!
During the interview we asked everything – and I mean everything – about what it’s like to be on Top Gear, what they thoughts of the Pro-Touring cars, whether Tanner really is as a great a driver as he’s portrayed (he is), whether Adam really is as crazy as he’s portrayed (he is), and whether he believes he truly has a dream job (he does).
He was as funny with us as he is on Top Gear, as well as on his “day job” of hosting the NASCAR pre-races shows on Fox SPorts 1. He truly loves cars, buys half of the vehicles he drives on Top Gear and takes them home, and just put an LS3 into a 1950’s panel van. We’ll plan to catch up with Rut in person at SEMA!
Thanks for the interview, Rut!
